You'd think there wouldn't be a whole lot at Costco for us after we have weight loss surgery. I mean everything is in such LARGE quantities but I've found a few things that are weight loss surgery friendly and have been very helpful on my journey. Click on the linked items to see usage ideas and recipes.

Non-food:
Photo printing for when you are dropping sizes
I've gotten a few cute outfits, underwear, socks
Lowest prices on prescriptions (P.S. You don't need a membership to get prescriptions, buy booze or get your eyes checked, little-known facts)

If I think of more I will add them but that's the main stuff. Well, there is always the "Costco Buffet" as I call it... a sample of cheese, a hunk of meat or two and I'm full. I'm a cheap lunch date.

I love those little suckers too... well hmm it depends... if I have a scoop of green salad or bean salad with for a lunch or dinner then 3 on their own breakfast-on-the-go I can do 4. Always stick to portion sizes your Dr. or nutrtionist recommends for your stage.

BTC, :( Try requesting it. Tell them to get the product #'s from the Temecula, CA store or give my store a call. You'd be surprised... I request stuff all the time from stores and 9 times out of ten they will at least order it once. I'd wait till after the holidays... they have so much stuff appetizers, unusual items that will be gone.

I live in Washington State--I looked into the Naked Nuggets and was told they weren't yet carried in Costco here or in Oregon. I hope that changes soon.

I get my 25g protein bullets at Costco--the Body Choice ones come in Fruit Punch or Orange Sunshine and are with the vitamins and such near the pharmacy. They cost $19.99 for a 12-pack. They also carry the Muscle Milk Light ready-to-drinks in that part of Costco in the chocolate flavor, and at least one other ready-to-drink. That was great for me when in my early post-op days on liquids.

Thanks for posting your shopping lists! That is so helpful! Shopping is such an adventure since WLS.

I actually go on Saturday when they have the samples, its a great time to get satisfied with a free snack, sometimes fills me up as a lunch! I love Costco, very good to buy in bulk proteins! The fresh produce is good if you have a big freezer to store leftovers

Great list. They don't always have it, but when they do I buy Jarlsberg lite Swiss cheese. I stock up and use it in a crustless quiche that a throw leftover proteins in. Sorry bad grammatical sentence ;-)I also find Costco eggs taste better then my store brand.

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
